Comments from

In her time with the Chamber, Heidi brought forth many new initiatives and programs to the Mason County business community Although it will be sad not to see her regularly, we as the Chamber Board of Directors are thankful for all the things she has done in for our community and wish her the very best as she begins this new and exciting chapter

When it came time to sit down and plan our next steps as a board, there was no question on who is best suited to lead us through this transition as our permanent President & CEO Over the past decade, Deidre Peterson has been nothing short of a stellar employee of the Chamber She has been responsible for incentivizing event participation, implementing the move to a tiered dues model, securing a national partnership with Google, revamping the Ambassadors committee, developing guidelines for the annual awards program, sunsetting the auction, and spearheading in house policies and procedures.

Deidre is deeply committed to the Chamber She graduated from the Western Association of Chamber Executives Academy, a multi year program on chamber management essentials, and she continues to seize opportunities to expand her skill set and bring resources to our members Well known in statewide and national associations, she has received accolades for working tirelessly behind the scenes and for her laser like focus

Aside from her work at the Chamber, Deidre is a member of Shelton Kiwanis Club, serves on the City Council, and volunteers for St Edward Catholic Church She and her husband Jon live in downtown and are active in community efforts We are thrilled to offer Deidre the position of President & CEO of the Shelton Mason County Chamber of Commerce and look forward to the success her leadership will undoubtedly bring

Railroad's Fourth Block Breathes New Life

Main Street

Since the Chamber and EDC hosted a Tour of Empty Buildings in 2013, many of the decrepit spaces have been filled up with new retail spaces, eateries, and unique places It is thanks to the passion and grit of determined entrepreneurs that we have seen the beginnings of a sort of renaissance on Railroad You may have noticed that the fourth block has become reinvented and is now a draw for residents and visitors

Mestizos Latin Food is the newest addition The family and veteran owned eatery, located in the former home of The Strip Steakhouse, has been beautifully transformed and features Salvadorian and Mexican cuisine as well as a monthly special from a different Latin country Chef Jack (son of owners Brenda & Patrick Gradert) brings with him years of experience in high end restaurants and a passion for Latin fare

Shelton Candy Shoppe, located next door, is giving us all the nostalgia vibes They carry local candy artists and childhood favorites, an array of nationally recognized brands you've always loved, and even vegan, organic, and gluten free options Stop in to visit with owners Phillip and Kayla (self dubbed “ sugar dealers”) and grab yourself a treat! There are lots of Washington sourced goodies, including pints of local Olympic Mountain Ice Cream

And earlier this summer, Wilde Irish Pub opened the doors to the highly anticipated full service bar and eclectic restaurant. Jim & Nikki Boad love to travel and that provided the inspiration for this space The couple purchased the old Ming Tree building two years ago and slowly transformed it into a modern pub with a jovial vibe WIP takes pride in serving fresh, local, seasonal food as well as craft cocktails, fine Whiskeys, and an amazing selection of draft beers

Fat Cat Coffee, moved to its quaint location on the corner of the Angle Building in 2021, the same year being named Chamber Rookie of the Year The shop is owned by entrepreneur and coffee aficionado Feather Meredith She The menu features custom label grinds and includes hot & cold beverage options, including teas, energy drinks, smoothies, and Italian sodas You’ll also find local soaps, quirky gifts, and seasonal specials

Cottontail Baby & Kids Resale joined its sister store Our Favorite Things Resale Shop this year.

Owner Rishel Kidd is excited to offering new and gently used clothing, gifts, home décor, and more in a boutique style shopping environment There is also a small event space available for rent to hold parties, paint nights, yoga classes and more

Cooper Studios has anchored the block for more than ten years Owners Amy & Forest Cooper are active proponents for the downtown core who have worked behind the scenes to bring about big things like Shelton Neon Project and donated their time to ensure the longevity of traditions such as Halloween Trick or Treating with merchants

At the Western end of the storefronts, the old City Hall stands proudly, appropriately housing the Mason County Historical Society & Museum The museum shares the heritage of the region, free of charge, and plays host to artist receptions, rotating exhibits, and special collections

As described in National Trust for Historic Preservation report, “All across America, blocks of older, smaller buildings are quietly contributing to robust local economies and distinctive livable communities Buildings of diverse vintage and small scale provide flexible, affordable space for entrepreneurs launching new businesses and serve as attractive settings for new restaurants and locally owned shops They offer diverse housing choices that attract younger residents and create human scaled places for walking, shopping, and social interaction These modest, often overlooked buildings are irreplaceable assets for America’s new urban age ”

There are many creating authentic experiences downtown. Just look at Shelton Downtown Merchants, Shelton Farmers Market, local events and festivals hosted by organizations such as Forest Festival and Kristmastown Kiwanis, and the genius of Christmastown USA activities created by Northwest Event Organizers in cooperation with City of Shelton Get out, take a walk, and be part of a new, dynamic downtown

As the momentum builds and moves throughout downtown, the Chamber commits to continuing to work with its partners and local businesses to create a vibrant, thriving downtown Learn more at masonchamber com/downtown

has long been hailed as the heart of a community. In Shelton, Railroad Avenue has stood as an economic and retail cornerstone for more than 125 years.

BEAUTIFICATION

The flower baskets that grace our streets for the summer season were hung with care just in time for Forest Festival weekend This project, led by the Chamber, could not have been possible without the help, support, and organizational skills from members of the community Our thanks go to Hood Canal Communications, City of Shelton, and Shelton Kiwanis Club & Foundation who were instrumental in the planning and hanging the flower baskets

The Chamber and its partners collaborate to beautify our community in the summer with a flowery, cheerful welcome and in the winter by displaying the Christmas street light ornaments

Blooms

There is a tremendous cost associated with beautifying our community and the entire project is funded by community donations No tax dollars are allocated towards these projects and all donations go directly to the beautification program

You can help! Gifts made to the beautification program provide for the upkeep of the flower baskets, streetlight banners, and Christmas decorations Summer flower baskets may be sponsored for $275 each which offsets the cost of purchasing, maintaining, and watering one flower basket for the season All contributions are tax deductible under the 501(c)(3)

You may choose to sponsor a basket in the name of a business, an individual, or in memoriam of a loved one You can even choose which basket you'd like to sponsor from a list of available locations

Gifts of any amount are appreciated! You may drop off monetary contributions at the Chamber Office located at 215 W Railroad Ave or mail them to SMCCF, PO Box 2389, Shelton, WA 98584

If you would like more information on this valuable community project, please call (360) 426 2021 or visit sheltonchamber com/beautification

This year’s Chamber golf tournament was held on Friday, August 19 at Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club. A fine mist took the edge off the morning and golfers clambered into carts sponsored by Shelton Athletic Club, eager to hit the greens as the shotgun sounded at 9:00 AM

Raves! MASONCOUNTY

Ok, we just had lunch at the Radio Fryer truck and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. Only had one gentleman working but he rocked our order and the next 5 orders after us. All with a smile. The food was awesome and generous without breaking the bank. Highly, highly recommend going there. This will me my new lunch stop whenever I’m in town.

- Diane W.

Rave for Julia at Hackney Dental! She was super helpful getting a payment plan set up for my husband and was very patient with me while trying to deal with my chaos of hyper children in the background

We are truly grateful for Colton Kealy of Kealy Electric who recently completed the Electrical Rough-in for Habitat House #35. Colton has generously donated his time, labor, and materials to this project, and we couldn't be happier with his partnership to help fulfill our Mission. Community and Business supporters are crucial for our continued success with improving, maintaining, and building affordable quality housing for those in need in Mason County. -Marty C. Habitat for Humanity

Stopped in at the Shelton Candy Shop on Railroad. They have tons of unique treats, and they’re nice Going to make this a regular stop for us I didn’t even know they were there, the last couple months I’ve been so busy Sharing to help spread word so they can do well. It’s nice having a local candy shop.

Huge rave for T Mobile in Shelton Every employee was kind and worked hard to help me switch over I've dealt with lots of cell carriers/stores in my life and I was very impressed The manager was amazing as well I was able to get 3 lines and 2 new phones for a great deal I had a very specific phone in mind, and they made sure to help transfer everything and show me the newer features
